Welcome to High school--Chapter 1
A new beginning
“Harley! Come on get up.” My mom shouted on top of her voice. “ Sweetie it’s your first day,you have to get up.” She knew my weakness, I didn’t like getting to a place late. But it is not my fault, I couldn’t sleep all night. I was busy thinking of my first day.
I was going to be late if I don’t hurry. I had a quick shower and dressed up quickly before my mom comes to scold me once again. I tied my hair in a messy bun and ate a sandwitch before going out of the house. My mom didn’t even allow me to finish my food. She just picked up her bag and slamed the door. “Mom!” I said with a lot of food in my mouth.
Just like me, she didn’t like getting late. “ Hey Mrs.Vivian.” A familir voice crept out. It was him, my father’s arch nemesis. I just wish that he gets punished for all his sins. “What do you want. I just wanted to offer you a ride, no biggie.” He said raising his two hands in surrender. My blood began to boil.
He is a monster. He doesn't think about anyone's feelings. I never knew the reason why he hated my dad. My dad was a kindhearted man. He never held any grudges against anyone. Any woman that meets my dad would fall in love with him for sure. Why? He was so sweet, he also understand people unlike my mom.
My mom is also loving but she doesn't know how to show her emotions. She doesn't understand how people feel. I know she loves me but when I'm blue she doesn't notice.
The awkward silence was just too much. "My mom isn't like this." I thought.
She always talks to me in the car. She would tell me motivational stories before I went to school. It became a culture. That story would guide me till the end of the day. Whenever I feel blue, her voice would always ring in my head.
"Mom no stories today? Mom you know that my day wouldn't be good if you don't advice me." I said finally after 15 long minutes of silence.
"Dear please no time today. And who says you won't have a good day." My mom replied with her eyes fixed on the road and her hands holding firmly on the steering wheel.
"Mom please." I said joining my hands together.
"Harley! Please you know why I can't do that again. Please just leave me alone." I wasn't expecting that kind of reply from her. The tears were threatening to come but I blinked quickly to send it back. I figured out why she didn't what to do that tradition. I couldn't see my mom drowned in sadness. Seeing my mom sad makes me sad too.
I was lost in thought I didn't realize that the car had stopped. The sound of the car sudden stop made me realize that it was already time for the biggest time of my life. "Come on Harley dear it's time for school."
